Binary package hint: apport

I have X crashing quite often in the last days (around once per day): the screen/display gets distorted for half a second, then I get back to the KDM login screen again.

Unfortunately apport does not notice these crashes, maybe due to this:

apport (pid 14883) Tue Nov 3 21:51:39 2009: Unhandled exception:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/share/apport/apport", line 220, in <module>
    drop_privileges(pid, True)
  File "/usr/share/apport/apport", line 54, in drop_privileges
    raise ValueError, 'Invalid process ID: ' + str(e)
ValueError: Invalid process ID: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/proc/2206'
pid: 14883, uid: 0, gid: 0, euid: 0, egid: 0
environment: {}

Is the process gone to fast? Shouldn't apport make it stay until all info is retrieved?
